Adding Public Enemy and Lil Wayne, Vanilla Ice says "of course" Jay-Z would be on his list. Ice Ice Baby says "'Empire State of Mind' is a great song," he says, adding "and 'On To the Next One'? Love that song. Whatever is going on, he's the leader…"[Lil Wayne's] on fire, without a doubt…I'm from the dirty South, and I love the dirty South rap…A lot of stuff isn't so well-known and there's no mainstream hit or something, but [Jadakiss] is super-talented."
